Introduction

 

This Spirit Success Report from Halloran Software’s AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter program draws upon 576 paragraphs which interpret the places of the planets at the time of your birth, describing your personal houses, sign placements, and planetary aspects.

 

These astrological delineations depict your potential and how to make the most of it, or the challenges you will continue to face and how to confront and benefit from them.  Though you may change through experience, your inherent characteristics will still motivate how you act and react to circumstances.  How you handle yourself is really a clue to your success, and it is up to you to make the “right” choices.

 

Here are the parts which make up your chart:

 

HOUSES:  Govern sections of your life, e.g., your money, your health, your partners, etc.  They are also meaningful as to where your early interests lie and if they are worth pursuing.

 

SIGNS:  Contribute feelings or vibrations to “color” planets, e.g., MERCURY rules GEMINI and VIRGO and emphasizes their qualities of thought, travel, health, and work.  JUPITER rules SAGITTARIUS and higher education, spiritual growth, and law.

 

ASPECTS:  Are angles combining the planets in the SIGNS/HOUSES that trigger the manner in which you will be influenced or can handle your qualities to advantage, e.g., MERCURY (thought) TRINE (in good aspect to) JUPITER (education and law) may indicate that you can succeed as a counselor in legal matters.

 

A “Strength” number precedes each ASPECT interpretation towards the end of the reading.  This number synthesizes how exact is the aspect, whether the aspect is major or minor, and whether an aspecting planet is close to one of the four chart angles.  The higher the Strength, the more you are likely to feel the aspect and to live it out in your life.

 

You are most likely to feel and act out the Spirit Success Report’s sign and house placement interpretations when the planets involved are strong in your chart.  This is true especially of the outer planets, Jupiter through Pluto.  The Astrodynes program, also available from Halloran Software, calculates the respective power and harmony of all the planets in your chart.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Signs

 

 

Sun in Libra

 

(Keynote:  I BALANCE)

 

You are honest, refined, tactful and generous, but may also be indecisive, credulous, impractical and trifling.  Your willingness to put the feelings of others ahead of your own makes you a desirable friend, but leaves you open to subverting your personality.  You are in your element at social functions, and revel in the arts.  Avoid arguing in the name of “justice,” and  flaunting your “superior” knowledge. Maybe you ARE a “know-it-all,” but that attitude rarely influences people to agree.  You are more effective as a diplomat, winning friends to people your busy life.

 

 

 

Moon in Leo

 

(The Prominent)

 

Everything is a “big deal” in your life.  You expand both the negatives and positives and express yourself dramatically. You are a “head-turner,” like the attention you attract, are generous with your money and enjoy being thought of as a “big-time spender.”  Your organizational ability, coupled with your self-confidence and popularity, often places you ahead of your competition in business, though you must watch a tendency to become “bossy.”  If you are too self-indulgent, you should call upon your natural honesty and recognize it as a fault which may be difficult to overcome.

 

 

Mercury in Libra

 

(The Moderator)

 

You are a born diplomat, so can usually sugar-coat even a bitter pill to make it palatable.  Because you see all sides of a question, you often have trouble making up your mind as to what is “fair.”  Look for a partner who is intellectually stimulating, and will inspire you to use your gift of writing.  Though your work may not be commercial, it will give you the pleasure of creating something beautiful to share with those who appreciate your efforts.

 

 

Venus in Scorpio

 

(The Passionate)

 

Your tempestuous nature is evident to anyone or anything you decide to possess or oppose.  You refuse to take “no” for an answer.  Others bend to your will because you are determined to have your own way, even if the result is not in your best interest.  Jealousy is a self-defeating fault, as is possessiveness.  Turn your power into self-control.   You have the ability to overcome negative qualities and lay a proper foundation to succeed in gaining what you desire most.

 

 

Mars in Aquarius

 

(The Forerunner)

 

You focus on the future and see things with amazing clarity, so are apt to be impatient with those who do not have your vision.  Your motives are the best — to do for others what they cannot do for themselves.  You are a matchless fund-raiser and know who to approach and what to say to accomplish your missions. You extend this nurturing quality in your personal life.  All who recognize your kindness are sure to return the interest and appreciation you deserve.

 

 

Jupiter in Sagittarius

 

(The Philosopher)

 

You are a student of life and gain your highest learning through experience, but can also expand your knowledge in metaphysical studies.  Your optimism and faith in humanity make you responsible for lighting and passing an eternal flame of wisdom to successive generations, where it will multiply a thousand times with every life it touches.

 

 

Saturn in Gemini

 

(The Vassal)

 

Responsibilities of loved ones can limit your outstanding ability to express yourself.  You may adopt a life of fantasy to escape becoming hard or bitter.  Many writers epitomize your frustrations: Beatrix Potter, Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Bronte Sisters among them.  They were visionaries who overcame “self” to share a corner of their indomitable spirits.  Your lack of freedom is far less meaningful than the opportunity for self-discipline you will learn to value.

 

 

Uranus in Libra

 

(The Bohemian)

 

You have artistic talent and appreciate modern, as well as traditional forms.  You are intelligent, ambitious and determined, but may change your goals too often. Your creative imagination and intuitive gifts blend well.  Relationships are trying, as you choose unlikely companions.  You make enemies because of unusual ideas, independence and your caustic wit. Once your efforts are channeled, you may attract opportunities that will lead to the success you have dreamed of.

 

 

Neptune in Sagittarius

 

(The Sage)

 

You have a talent for understanding human nature and an uncanny ability to know what makes people “tick.”  You are a perpetual student, and a gifted teacher.  Your thirst for knowledge will prompt you to travel extensively.  Try to remember that you must accept the customs of another country before they will accept you.  Your beliefs are unconventional.  You will continue to learn by experience and teach in love as did Plato, Socrates and their descendants in spirit.

 

 

Pluto in Libra

 

(The Rational)

 

As peacemaker, it is second-nature to act as liaison in fostering partnerships that contribute to world-harmony.  Your high intellect and demand for justice may place you in public service where you can aid worthy causes by your involvement. Your love of truth may influence big business, where deceit will be overcome with honor.  On an individual level, all this may be accomplished by setting an example through the simple amenities you practice every day.

 

 

North Node in Aquarius

 

(The Arrogant)

 

You demand center stage, but are disappointed if there is little applause for your flamboyant performance.  As a member of the audience, you must cheer others for their efforts. With a dual perspective, you may realize that you are part of a larger design, devoid of ego or self-aggrandizement. Release your humanitarian instincts to enjoy the Big Show.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Sun trine Mars  (Strength:  6.95)

 

(The Self-possessed)

 

You are confident, but not often “cocky.”  You attract the opposite sex and others who admire your independence, though you adjust readily to partnerships which increase your scope.  You review your progress regularly and update your potential, so are prepared for achievement without egoistic pitfalls to delay your success.  You may excel in physical sports, but true to your pattern are well-rehearsed, and play for the challenge of a game — not for the win, alone.

 

 

Moon trine Jupiter  (Strength:  5.43)

 

(The Popular)

 

Others may regard you as “lucky,” “optimistic, “cheerful” and “enthusiastic”, all of which accurately describes your sunny disposition and lively attitude.  You are not unrealistic, but believe in yourself and accept whatever challenges or blessings “fate” deals you as an interesting part of life.  Your many friends admire your ability to find a positive side to almost any problem.  You have no peer when the ballots are in for “the most likely to succeed.”

 

 

Jupiter opposite Saturn  (Strength:  4.94)

 

(The Alibis)

 

You may fantasize heroic adventures, but think others hold you back.  You find reasons why you can’t “go and do.” The truth is you probably have trouble letting go of the familiar to explore the unknown.  Though you complain, you are a hard worker, accept responsibility, and should be able to expand your horizons.  To paraphrase the poet:  “It is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all!” There is always a chance you will exceed your expectations!

 

 

Moon trine Neptune  (Strength:  4.87)

 

(The Muse)

 

Your strange and wonderful dreams may be precognitive, since you are intuitive and can use this way of venting your feelings.  They can also be useful in creative work, where fantasy is as important as practicality.  You express spiritually, though you may not adopt an orthodox religion. You shun coarseness and identify with gentleness.  Your relationships are idealistic, but you must watch a tendency to overdramatize them, as did Romeo and Juliet.

 

 

Moon square Venus  (Strength:  4.31)

 

(The Impassioned)

 

You are intent on romance, but may be too fervent to realize you are over-protective or possessive of your loved-one.  If you do not have a relationship, you will feel out of balance until you attract a partner, and will make every effort to do so.  Your feelings may stem from a parent-child affinity if you are sentimental about the marriage of your parents.  Be sure you are acting from real love more than sentiment or need if you consider entering a commitment.

 

 

Sun conjunct Mercury  (Strength:  4.18)

 

(The Conversationalist)

 

You express your opinions and ideas well, and may preface each sentence with “I”, since your focus is on yourself.  If you are promoting your interests commercially, you will get your point across, but should listen to the views of others to enhance your chances of success.  You enjoy travel and meeting with people to exchange ideas.  You are a natural teacher.  If you show a flair for writing, voicing your opinions may be useful and is often the mark of a successful columnist.

 

 

Mercury trine Mars  (Strength:  3.23)

 

(The Lecturer)

 

You are sure of your facts and have the courage of your convictions, which makes you a competent speaker.  While you are confident, you are seldom combative.  Your perception is keen and you adapt quickly, so will be as at home in foreign climates as you are on familiar ground.  You enjoy negotiating and winning disputes.  Should you have to compromise your beliefs, you will not be discouraged but resolve to shore up your defenses and do better next time.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  3.00)

 

(The Self-aware)

 

It is important that you have the support of your family and friends.  You are extremely sensitive and subject yourself to self-criticism that can be destructive and depressing.  It may be that you need professional help to build your self-esteem.  Later, you may transfer your intense feelings into knowledge you share with others.  You may pursue a career in psychiatry or psychology, but will continue to investigate your own psyche for answers as to what “makes you tick.”

 

 

Sun conjunct Uranus  (Strength:  2.74)

 

(The Precarious)

 

You are constantly trying to express as an individual, sometimes before you are entitled to an opinion.  Others may regard you as “disruptive” rather than “unique,” and a “rebel” rather than an “innovator.”  But, some admire your liveliness, which serves to keep your life and the lives of others from the ruts of boredom.  Like Ben Franklin, you must harness the electricity you generate without allowing it to destroy you in the process.

 

 

Moon sextile Saturn  (Strength:  2.37)

 

(The Judicious)

 

You are careful with your feelings and emotions and therefore have great control over your interaction with others.  You may seem older and wiser than your years because of your preference for conservatism and your respect for tradition.  You prefer the company of older people, and if you need advice will look to someone well-versed and substantial for counsel.  However, you are secure within yourself and justly proud of your independence and self-sufficiency.

 

 

Jupiter conjunct Neptune  (Strength:  2.30)

 

(The Utopian)

 

Your compassion for others inspires you to try to perfect the world for all to enjoy.  Idealism can tempt you to take risks that may not pay off, or you may not have the means for social reform.  But, given encouragement to change, man can achieve what it is impossible for others to do for him.  Help others to their feet with dignity.  If your resources extend no farther than your arms can reach, you may still exemplify a prayer:  “Let there be peace, and let it begin with me.”

 

 

Moon sextile Pluto  (Strength:  1.87)

 

(The Responsive)

 

Your impulses are valid and valuable.  You have a strong sense of “right” or “wrong,” for others as well as yourself, which is often a motivating factor in your actions.  You fit easily into most situations because you identify instinctively with the feelings of others.  Your emotions will not allow you to indulge in superficiality, but try to be understanding rather than judgmental in your relationships and demonstrate your ability to be compassionate rather than removed.

 

Mars trine Uranus  (Strength:  1.69)

 

(The Expressive)

 

You will find positive ways to release your tremendous store of energy, and may direct it into a career or some “life work” of an unusual nature.  You will never go unnoticed because you express as a “different” kind of individual.  Your unique imprint is on whatever you touch, whether constructive or destructive.  Each success builds your confidence to move onward and upward.  You are adventurous and are liable to “climb a mountain just because it’s there.”

 

Saturn opposite Neptune  (Strength:  1.25)

 

(The Conflict)

 

You may be deprived of a firm foundation early, which encourages inner doubts and insecurities as you mature.  Avoid unnecessary self-blame, but assume responsibility for your thoughts and actions.  You are not being “picked on,” — only trying to discover who you are and how you fit into the scheme of things.  Eventually, you may find that  “street-smarts” can be more practical than “book-learning.”  Try to blend the best of both to gain self-confidence and assure success.

 

Saturn trine Pluto  (Strength:  0.24)

 

(The Conqueror)

 

You are a formidable force in the universe because of your intense desire to succeed, if it takes you forever to do so.  You are well-structured and informed.  You know where you are going and precisely how to get there, without cutting corners but with little wasted motion.  Others note your efficiency and appreciate your efforts with resultant rewards.  You are self-aware and are always willing to do whatever it takes for u

nderstanding and overall improvement.

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

Abundant Air

 

You seem to live for mental exploration.  Discovering and communicating the connections between ideas, people, and places is your function in life.  Your active mind is good at identifying new frontiers whose basics you quickly master, so that you end up knowing something about almost everything.  You have a dispassionate nature that cooly considers the pros and cons of a situation, able to place logic above personal emotion.  From your mental viewpoint, emotions look irrational.  You make a good negotiator, sales person, communicator, arbitrator, analyst, and information processor.  Ideas flow quickly for you.  While impersonal and dispassionate, you nonetheless thrive on communication and social interaction.  At your best, you strive to understand and accept people, not to change them.  Courageously, you adhere to principles.  You appreciate culture, structure, and systems.

 

Your greatest strength is also your weakness, namely too much coolness from placing head above heart.  Leaders must be able to follow their hearts without being indecisive or equivocating.  And you ignore your real connection to others if you use your mental gifts to coldly manipulate them.  Try to avoid isolation by functioning as part of a team in which your logic, analysis, and communication skills are put to good use.  Work with others who may be more practical, sensitive, or passionate than are you. Don’t keep your good ideas inside, but write them down and communicate them to others.

 

 

Abundant Fire

 

You are an active, future-oriented person who is not weighed down by past commitments.  You take advantage of new opportunities better than most.  Life for you can be a vibrant affair in which you passionately pursue causes, lovers, and experiences.  You have the self-confidence to be a leader.  Competitive and flamboyant, you have little patience for slow people or unexciting work.  When an activity interests you, you can be very generous with your time, energy, and money.  Find outlets for your gifts of creativity and intuition.

 

Watch out for a tendency to exaggerate or to be insensitive to others’ feelings.  More cautious types may envy and resent your free spirit and competitive nature.  You get bored easily and may depend on others to finish the projects that you start.  When your warmth is guided by love, wisdom, and positive goals you have the ability to heal and inspire others, but when you focus on your self or lack direction, your short-lived passions can affect others in destructive ways.

 

 

Lack of Earth

 

You may be so focused on the “bigger picture” that you have difficulty managing the many details of life.  Balancing your checkbook or leaving your bedroom clean may seem beyond your abilities.  Other tasks may be important, but you find it hard to concentrate long enough to complete them.  Knowing your own lack of concentration and self-discipline, you may cling to established routines because you know that you are able to do important things through force of habit.  If you do not flit from job to job, you could hold onto a job or a relationship for too long because you do not trust that you will be secure without it.  Your lack of real world perspective may make it hard for you to distinguish that which really matters from that which is unimportant, so that you sometimes focus on small things while leaving the really big things undone.  You may say that you care about money, but unless you have abundant planets in the houses of Substance, you will not execute a detailed plan to get it.  If you can avoid driving them crazy, enlist the help of those more grounded than yourself in order to turn your inspirations into reality.
